Crazy Fanaticism

In northwestern Iraq

The ongoing violence with ISIS

Is affecting the Yazidi people.

What a horrible crisis!

 

The dogmatic ISIS jihadists

Have shockingly indicated

That the Yazidi Kurds

Should be annihilated

 

For being devil worshippers,

Which shows the jihadists’ immense

Lack of understanding

And lack of common sense.

 

If Yazidi men don’t convert,

They are killed on the spot.

So they have to flee for their safety

In order to avoid being shot.

 

This horrible religious fanaticism

Has frighteningly increased

Worldwide and isn’t limited

To groups in the Middle East.

 

We shouldn’t feel complacent;

We must also address

The problem of religious fanaticism

Here in the good ol’ U.S.

 

Our religious fanatics,

Under the guise of doing “good,”

Aren’t wiping out villages,

But frankly, some would if they could.
